Merge bitcoin#30335: Mining interface followups, reduce cs_main locking, test rpc bug fix

a74b0f9 Have testBlockValidity hold cs_main instead of caller (Sjors Provoost)
f6dc6db refactor: use CHECK_NONFATAL to avoid single-use symbol (Sjors Provoost)
5fb2b70 Drop unneeded lock from createNewBlock (Sjors Provoost)
75ce763 refactor: testBlockValidity make out argument last (Sjors Provoost)
83a9bef Add missing include for mining interface (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  Followups from bitcoin#30200

  Fixes:
  - `std::unique_ptr` needs `#include <memory>` (noticed while working on bitcoin#30332, which has fewer includes than its parent PR that I originally tested with)
  - Drop lock from createNewBlock that was spuriously added
  - Have testBlockValidity hold cs_main instead of caller (also fixes a race condition in test-only code)

  Refactor:
  - Use CHECK_NONFATAL to avoid single-use symbol (refactor)
  - move output argument `state` to the end of `testBlockValidity`, see bitcoin#30200 (comment)
